I should know better. Feedback: not medicine's strength. I suspect there might be some malpractice stats out there some where that will finish that debate off pretty quickly. Probably a good place to start for the medical fraternity would be confirming that people actually have the qualifications in the first place. (Step 1)
Z-Force - basically in the end the only people that will be attracted to the profession are the enthusiasts. Others that would have considered it will look at the figures and say - "no thanks". Had a mate from highschool do exactly that. He went into IT. Two years into it he was into a six figure salary. This guy was the exact person you are talking about - very bright and too bright to be sucked into the aviation game.
I still can't see the standards lowering however because at the end of the day it is the chack captain that is putting his/her neck on the line.
